Early May stay for 3 nights. Saw elk, longhorn sheep, horses, coyote?, and more wildlife. Fly fished the East Fork of the Black River every day and caught and released Apache Trout. Perfect trip. Cabin was clean, sturdy and warm. Excellent hot water, but bring a camp shower for outdoor showering/bathing as there is only a toilet and sink in the bathroom. Little cabin has everything else.

We were very surprised to see how well outfitted the cabin was. Enjoyed hanging out on the porch after dinner and watching the horses and cows graze. Even saw a fox leaping out of the tall grass hunting. I wouldn't change a thing (except adding a broom). The lock on the gate was a nuisance (took a long time to figure it out - instructions would have been helpful).

Cabin was lovely, its location superb with a large meadow in front. Saw deer, elk, wild horses and a coyote in the meadow at various points over our two-night stay. Great base for hiking in both the Springerville and Alpine Ranger Districts.

Caldwell Cabin was wonderful. It was welcoming, comfortable, clean and relaxing. It gave us a chance to disconnect and enjoy nature.

Been to Caldwell several times & was thankful for the new paved parking spot that makes unloading much easier. I do miss the little gate to the porch a bit. Always a great place to get away to & did enjoy boating activities @ Big Lake a half hour away.

Absolutely amazing location. The cabin was exceptionally clean considering that it was being cleaned by citizens who had previously occupied it. Daily we saw herd of Elk in the meadow. We witnessed a Mexican Gray Wolf pack hunting elk. Glorious monsoon storms, fog, hail, spectacular sunrise, Buzzards in trees drying their wings after the storms. Lush growth in the meadow with wildflowers, mushrooms. Drove Route 276 along the East Fork Black River to Alpine, quite scenic. Many wild berries, riverbanks of wild sunflowers. Warm, informative reception by several forest rangers at the Alpine District Ranger Headquarters.

This is an amazing cabin with lots of space and amenities. The people that use it are very respectful in taking care of it. It is great to have a nice open meadow to enjoy. The solar power provided lights, a nice propane fridge and water for the toilet. We brought all our cooking gear, but the kitchen was actually well stocked.

Really enjoy this place. Rooms with a view is one of the most incredible programs our USFS is involved in.
